How Do I Get Her To Calm Down And Not Be So Scared? http://dog-and-cat-food.com/2009/12/19/submissive-dog/ http://dog-and-cat-food.com/2009/12/19/submissive-dog/#comments Sat, 19 Dec 2009 17:32:02 +0000 Bonnie http://dog-and-cat-food.com/?p=189

She is a 10 month old Corgi, we also have another male corgi and they get along great. We go on walks at a leash free park and every time we meet another dog she starts barking like a maniac and becomes submissive and starts running away when the dog tries to sniff her. Then our other dog gets protective…

How do I get her to stop being so scared?

I am very familiar with birds but not very experienced with dogs. As a child, I had 3 dogs (mixed species) who were really good around our birds. However, as an adult, I have never had a dog around my birds. I’d like to get a dog someday and prefer bigger dogs than little dogs. If anyone can help answer this question, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks!

4 months ago I adopted 2 cats from the local animal rescue and the cat that has lived here for about 4 years has still not adjusted to these 2 new cats or the 2 additional ones I adopted 2 months ago. The first cat took refuge downstairs in my rec-room on the coach and will only leave that spot to eat and use the litter box(usually) sometimes I find pee/poop on the coach. I have tried everything from keeping them separated to keeping them in the same room. When any of the 4 new cats(2 are still kittens) go near her she just screams bloody murder. Will she ever adjust or should I consider something else?

My cat, who is 18 years old, has recently developed quite the sensitive stomach. He has an upset tummy nearly every day, & I think it’s probably his food. I’m trying to find one that fits all 3 qualifications, but I can’t seem to find a cat food for senior and sensitive stomach. He’s been eating Iams indoor senior formula, and I’m considering switching him to Nutro Senior, because it says it’s easy to digest. Has anyone else used Nutro, or have any suggestions for a good brand of senior sensitive stomach food?

Our cat is 6 months old. He loves attention, He rubs his body on my leg but when i go to pick him up to pet him, he tries to bite.
Also we have a 12 year old Lab/Retriever cross and the cat wont stop trying to chew on the dogs legs.  Every time the cat tries to bite our dogs legs, our dog gets up and moves but the cat follows. Sometimes the dog barks at the cat to stop but he wont.
How do we get our cat to stop chewing and biting??

More specifically, whats in dog treats thats so different from regular dog food, and makes dogs freak over their treats? Why isnt this just added to regular dog food to make it more appealing to dogs, not that it really matters?

My cat is an indoors cat. I bought him when he was a baby and was already an indoor cat, and I don’t seeing him being an outdoor cat. What do you think?

We are in the early stages of making plans to adopt a dog. We are aware that adopting means we will most likely get a mixed breed but we have heard conflicting info on which dogs are compatible with young children.  The children are old enough to respect a dog but just the same we want a dog that will play but not too rough.  I’m just looking for some ideas so when it is time to start looking we know which dogs to rule out.

One of my friend’s dogs got attacked in the park but now I’m kind of scared that will happen to my dog. My dog is a 2 year old lab if he gets into a fight with another dog in the dog park how can I stop it? Cause you know how the dogs aren’t on leashes they just run around. How would I stop a dog fight?

My cat loves people but I work 40 hours a week and would like to get him a friend.

I’m pretty sure he hates all Male cats. When the Neighbors male cat comes to the sliding glass door my cat attacks the glass trying to get at the other cat.

But I think he might be ok and even like a Female cat. But how do I test this? I would hate to have to take a cat back to the pound.
I got him from the humane society at 5 years old, declawed in front. For all I know he has always been an only cat and likes it that way. But I feel bad when he is home alone.
